Orban's list of demands for Ukraine this morning was particularly telling. This is what typically happens after people are taken hostage: demands.
We will not tolerate this state banditism.
Everyone who is responsible for taking and holding our citizens hostage will be held accountable. We reserve the right to take appropriate action, including initiating sanctions and other restrictive measures.
We once again demand Hungary stop dragging Ukraine into its domestic politics and electoral campaign.
We expect strong responses from our partners. We will also gather the foreign diplomatic corps at
